PlayStation has dropped five new free demos on its digital storefront, letting users try upcoming titles without needing a PlayStation Plus subscription.
The selection arrives as digital storefronts serve as a modern alternative to old-school magazine demo discs, giving players a chance to test games before making a financial commitment. Sony Interactive Entertainment, founded on October 3, 1994, and known for major franchises like Uncharted, God of War, Horizon, and The Last of Us, has opened this batch of samples to all system owners.
Headlining the drop is Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, a survival horror action title developed and published by Saber Interactive. Based on the iconic Pinhead character, the game carries a 9/10 rating on Steam across more than 5,000 user reviews.
Alongside the horror title, the lineup features four other independent and distinct projects. HELL OF FEAR: Mind Breach adopts a survival horror style reminiscent of Dead Space, placing players in the boots of Major Axel Vex as he investigates a distress signal at Cengona Base.
For players leaning toward platformers, Where the Seeds Fall centers on 3D parkour movement mechanics, utilizing flower blossoms to cushion long falls. Meanwhile, Waltz and Jam offers a single-player action-adventure experience with an art style drawing comparisons to The Nightmare Before Christmas ahead of its pre-Christmas release.
Rounding out the list is RACCOIN: Chaos Max Edition, a roguelike deckbuilder built inside the mechanics of a coin-pushing machine.
All five game samples are available as free downloads on the PlayStation digital storefront without any active membership requirements.
